Poet- Katie Oh No!!
Oh,no! The fish has died!,
We have to get another one,
Before my sister cries!
We get another that dies agins,
As we shoot and miss the can.
There goes the cat!,
Which we buried by the river,
After all he did give me the shiver!
Let's see what happens today,
While my dad watches TV with nothing to say!!!

Why do you think Joey’s dad is so abusive?
Responses: we think that he doesn’t spend time with the kids so he is really strict.
Why did Jenna Mae and Amanda Jane cheat on the test?
Responses: we think that they were just bad people.
When Rusty moved in, why did Joey become friends with him so quickly?
Responses: we think it’s because they live so close together. Paragraph: We think that Joey’s dad was abusive because he was stressed in some way. He also doesn’t spend very much time with the kids. Amanda Jane and Jenna Mae we think are just bad people. I think that it was linked to Amanda Jane’s dad. Since he is so mean to the kids she might have been scared that she would fail and her dad would get very angry with her. We also think that Joey became friends with Rusty so quickly because they live so close together. Either way they became good friends.

The Wreck
We are down here listening to the river flow,
Thinking of a plan under the bridge that is low.
Yes! We had an idea,
A ghost tat fly and scare people too.
Now Joey and I will rue,
The day that Amanda Jane saw the ghost go boo!
When we saw her car go smash,
Our lives went CRASH!
We knew she was dead in a flash,
:( The day we saw Amanda Jane go crash. :(

Short Description of Experince from the book-
Amada Jane recieved a car for a test grade. Well, she cheated. She did not deserve the car. Later she crashed and died because she didn't have her seatbelt on.
Experience From your own life and those of your group-
I have a cousin that made some bad choices He was borrowing a friend's car. He was drinking and driving.They crashed. He didn't have his seatbelt on.
Paragraph:
Amanda Jane, Joey's sister recieved a car from cheating on a test with Jenna Mae. Later in the story she crashed. She didn' have her seatbelt on. My cousin crashed. He was drinking and driving without his seatbelt on. Neither them had a serious injury unlike Amanda Jane who died. They all should've had their seatbelts on.
